I think it would be very helpful if people who take useless supplements and quack remedies have their skin permanently turn to a certain color. Okay, maybe a permanent change is a little too harsh, but a long term change, say, three months or so would do the trick.

For example, if you take unproven weight loss pills, your skin would changes to a bright green color. If you take other bogus supplements that claim to be a cure for virtually every serious illness, your skin turns bright orange, etc.

Wait, bright orange? Oh, so this is why so many Californian babes are sporting a bright orange skin these days. Or are they just addicted to sunless tanning products? I am sorry, did I digress a bit?

Anyway, how many times have we heard that colloidal silver supplements are completely useless and it is dangerous to ingest them? Apparently, the guy in the picture did not get the message. Yes, that picture is real; it has not been altered in any way.

Papa Smurf (his real nickname) was suffering from dermatitis, so instead of going to a real doctor who would have prescribed him penicillin, he took colloidal silver. The result? His dermatitis did not go away, of course, but his skin permanently turned blue. [via]
